About

Néroli Amara explodes with a vibrant citrus opening of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, underscored by a subtle pink pepper kick. As it settles, a sweet and realistic orange blossom heart emerges, softened by a whisper of pear and the green depth of cypress. The dry down is a warm, musky neroli, smooth and soothing, creating a balanced and undeniably natural aroma that evokes sun-drenched Mediterranean groves.
